Member Testimonials
The weight machines are great. the facility is wel kept and friendly. There is space for me to do yoga stretching after weights ... I will be participating in the Body pump once I'm retired. Given the community - I realize its geared to retirees schedules - and while the 5:30 class is close - I can't end work at 5 and get to the y by 5:30. I really like the location ... and will continue - and hopefully participate more when retired in a couple of years.
Plenty of options to choose from. Friendly staff.
Great variety of adult group classes and excellent instructors.
Am brand new, full-time resident to FL, with the Y being one of my more immediate choices once I got settled in some. After selling my home on beautiful Cape Cod I was blessed with having the time and the money to secure myself a Personal Trainer at the Venice Y. This is by far, the best decision and best "gift" I have ever given myself. I lucked out enormously - feeling so blessed to have Marcia Zagorski as my Trainer - I am making great strides/results with the work we are doing together. Having been a Y member for many, many years back in MA - the Venice Y is amazing and WOW - all the new equipment - a bit intimidating but am getting the hang of the various machines that Marcia has me working on. I am also very impressed seeing so many Personal Trainers busy at work with many clients - wonderful seeing so many taking good care of their body, mind and spirit. I am blessed with the Venice YMCA - thank you for the care you give the facility itself and to each of us attendees - with all at the front desk very engaging and so pleasant, to assist with whatever our concern, question or need may be. I am just finishing up my first many rounds/sessions (the highest numbered package that I signed up for - I will soon now be purchasing my next 5 levels packages.

I like the cleanliness and friendly staff at the YMCA.
I wish the YMCA had longer hours on Fridays and weeknights.
The Sarasota YMCA is truly a special place. What sets it apart is the people—the staff and management go above and beyond every single day to create a clean, safe, and motivating environment for everyone. You really feel like part of a community here. Thank you to management and all the hard-working team members for making this facility so wonderful!
